Man dies in caravan park after waiting months to cross Queensland border

Queensland Health told the Courier-Mail the man, 78, had applied for a border exemption in early November, but he had subsequently cancelled his request.

NSW police and ambulance paramedics were called to the caravan park in Tenterfield on 22 November.

Police said members of the public attempted to revive him, but he died at the scene.

It is unclear why the man applied for an exemption in early November, and why he subsequently withdrew that request about a week later.

The state has refused to confirm how many people received such emails. Queensland Health has been contacted for additional comment.

The department told the Courier-Mail that it offered condolences to the family.
